Every year, we look forward to honoring the CIO 100 winners. It's our Academy Awards, Super Bowl and World Series rolled into one. Now in its 31st year, the CIO 100 celebrates 100 organizations and their IT teams for driving digital business growth through tech innovation.

In the coming months we'll be featuring the winners and their projects in greater detail on CIO.com and in our Summer 2018 digital magazine. You'll read about them in case studies and feature articles and will be able to find profiles of all the winning projects in our searchable database.

As is our annual tradition, the festivities will culminate at our awards dinner and ceremony at the CIO 100 Symposium, August 13-15, 2018 at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. The theme for this year’s executive conference is “The Innovation Conversation.” Experts and honorees will explore digital transformation and innovative ideas that challenge prevailing business models, shake up the competition and deliver ROI to the enterprise. Over the course of three days, more than 300 CIOs and senior business executives will engage in thought leader sessions, panel discussions, interactive workshops and much more.

If you sense some discontent in how information security is handled in your company, you're not alone. Half of the 287 U.S.-based IT and business professionals who responded to a recent survey from CSO and its sister sites CIO and Computerworld gave their organizations' security practices a grade of C or below.

Robert Frost waxed poetic about the road not taken. But he probably never found himself bumping along down Legacy Parkway or trying to decipher directions to Leet Street -- or really in any of the other geeky places featured in these pages.

When you think about tech products, you probably think "refresh cycle" more than "built to last." But as it turns out there are plenty of tech products that put up with hard, daily use year after year.

Thanks to the BuyItForLife (BIFL) subreddit we've got solid recommendations for tech products that are durable, practical, and built to last, if not for life, at least for a suitably long time. Or, as Reddit user elf_dreams put it: '[BIFL] are well made products that are expected to perform their function well after their peers have given up.'

To examine what it takes to succeed with big data, the editors of ITworld, CIO, Computerworld, CSO, InfoWorld, and Network World have joined forces to create this strategic guide. In this special report, we look at big data implementations from multiple angles and provide sound advice on how to best to proceed.
